Chapter 232 - Ill be just fine (2/2)

Pupillam raised her hand, ”Just leave things here to us; I am enough.”

The servants nodded and quickly left the room. Pupillam sighed, ”Did you bring something strange again? Usually, you wouldn't interfere with people touching your stuff.”

Lyn laughed, ”You guessed it,” the thing she brought back with her was Kazuya's sword. Kazuya told her to take her time with it, and so she brought it with her. She could have just spent a night reforging and fixing it, however, Kazuya said that he did not need for it now. Even without weapons, Kazuya is strong; Lyn knew that better than anyone. But isn't it unusual for somebody in this Empire to discard their blade like this?

”Say, where is Allen?” Lyn asked.

”If it's the Prince, he's in a meeting right now.”

They only just arrived, and he's working already? Well, she supposes it's just like him, but that guy really does need to take a break once in a while.

”Princess Lyn, this box has many offerings.”

Lyn smiled, ”Since we're in the mountains isn't it better to use magic? While newer magic does not need things like offerings. I want to practice some ancient magic.”

”Because ancient magic and dark magic are compatible. At least your learning well.”

Her eyes twitched in annoyance when she saw the person at the window, ”Reiji!”

”Man you're so annoying and loud. Come down for training in the courtyard; you can unpack later.”

Lyn sighed, 'So much for doing her own thing,' she thought. But Lyn is curious about this training he keeps mentioning. Lyn nodded and turned to Pupillam, ”Come with me?”

”Naturally.”

..

- Courtyard-

Lyn didn't think Rhys would be here too. Still, Lyn looked over at him. Rhys must know, right? About the script that her sister laid out for the party. She and Rhys have to act close in front of the General public. Lyn doesn't understand why, though. She's attending as Allen's fiance, why does she have to act close to another guy for?

”Princess Lyn, could you stand in this circle for a second?”

”Sure,” Lyn made her way over to the circle, and the moment she stood in it, she froze. It felt like there were shackles at her feet, ”Um, this?”

”Oi, don't be too rough on her,” Rhys said with a scowl.

”Relax, we just want to test how high level her magic is,” Reiji sighed, ”In the first place, such practices like this for the royal family are uncommon outside the church. Only those who belong to the church can test a royal's magic.”

Her sweat dropped, ”So you're basically doing something illegal?”

”Your fiance is distracted, so he won't notice.”

No, that's not the point here. Still, ”If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility,” Lyn wanted to see it with her own eyes too. Exactly how much power does she have? Why is everybody so afraid? The power she faintly recalled from two years ago, her brother training her, her isolation. Everything, if she finds out exactly what her power is then -- Lyn's thoughts broke off when she saw the way Rhys looked at her.

Why is he staring at her? Does he have something he wants to say?
